Party Time!

Joshua was invited to a birthday party on Saturday and it was a Star Wars Theme. They had Dark Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda there to train the kids to be Jedi's it was so much fun . I don't think I've ever seen so many kids sitting in one spot with there eyes glued to one thing.

Here is Joshua going through Jedi training!

Here is Joshua and Luke getting there picture with Dark Vader. Joshua wasn't to sure about him and Luke just wanted to be next to his brother.

Here there are all trained with there certificate of passing the Jedi training!

Outside Fun!!

Here are some cute pictures of Joshua trying out his new trick on his four wheeler. Luke tried to copy his big brother,but he stopped before I could get any pictures. Joshua will be a good stunt man when he's old enough.

Class of 2011!!

Taryn Graduated from Moorpark College!

On Friday the 13th Taryn completed her 2 years in the EATM (Exotic Animal Training and Management) program at Moorpark College and also earned her A.S. Degree.  She has worked so hard in this very demanding and challenging program and excelled the entire time. We are so very proud of her.  She trained a variety of amazing animals and then got to show some of them off to us in the morning during the "Family Circus."
